# Anthropic Cybersecurity Skills Integration
Import and use the Anthropic Cybersecurity Skills library (754 skills, 26 domains, 5 frameworks) with Hermes Agent.
## Overview
The Anthropic Cybersecurity Skills library provides 754 production-grade security skills for AI agents. Each skill follows the agentskills.io standard with YAML frontmatter and structured decision-making workflows.
## Source
- **Repository:** https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills
- **License:** Apache 2.0
- **Stars:** 4,385
- **Compatible:** Hermes Agent, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI
## Quick Start
```bash
# Import all skills
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py
# Import by domain
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --domain cloud-security
# Import by framework
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --framework nist-csf
# List available domains
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --list-domains
# List available frameworks
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --list-frameworks
# Dry run (show what would be imported)
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --dry-run
```
## Security Domains (26)
| Domain | Skills | Key Capabilities |
|--------|--------|-----------------|
| Cloud Security | 60 | AWS, Azure, GCP hardening, CSPM, cloud forensics |
| Threat Hunting | 55 | Hypothesis-driven hunts, LOTL detection, behavioral analytics |
| Threat Intelligence | 50 | STIX/TAXII, MISP, feed integration, actor profiling |
| Web App Security | 42 | OWASP Top 10, SQLi, XSS, SSRF, deserialization |
| Network Security | 40 | IDS/IPS, firewall rules, VLAN segmentation |
| Malware Analysis | 39 | Static/dynamic analysis, reverse engineering, sandboxing |
| Digital Forensics | 37 | Disk imaging, memory forensics, timeline reconstruction |
| Security Operations | 36 | SIEM correlation, log analysis, alert triage |
| IAM | 35 | IAM policies, PAM, zero trust, Okta, SailPoint |
| SOC Operations | 33 | Playbooks, escalation workflows, tabletop exercises |
| Container Security | 30 | K8s RBAC, image scanning, Falco, container forensics |
| OT/ICS Security | 28 | Modbus, DNP3, IEC 62443, SCADA |
| API Security | 28 | GraphQL, REST, OWASP API Top 10, WAF bypass |
| Vulnerability Management | 25 | Nessus, scanning workflows, CVSS |
| Incident Response | 25 | Breach containment, ransomware response, IR playbooks |
| Red Teaming | 24 | Full-scope engagements, AD attacks, phishing simulation |
| Penetration Testing | 23 | Network, web, cloud, mobile, wireless |
| Endpoint Security | 17 | EDR, LOTL detection, fileless malware |
| DevSecOps | 17 | CI/CD security, code signing, Terraform auditing |
| Phishing Defense | 16 | Email auth, BEC detection, phishing IR |
| Cryptography | 14 | Key management, TLS, certificate analysis |
## Framework Mappings (5)
| Framework | Version | Scope |
|-----------|---------|-------|
| MITRE ATT&CK | v18 | 14 tactics, 200+ techniques |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | 2.0 | 6 functions, 22 categories |
| MITRE ATLAS | v5.4 | 16 tactics, 84 techniques |
| MITRE D3FEND | v1.3 | 7 categories, 267 techniques |
| NIST AI RMF | 1.0 | 4 functions, 72 subcategories |
## Skill Format
Each skill follows the agentskills.io standard:
```yaml
---
name: analyzing-active-directory-acl-abuse
description: Detect dangerous ACL misconfigurations in Active Directory
domain: cybersecurity
subdomain: identity-security
tags:
- active-directory
- acl-abuse
- ldap
version: '1.0'
author: mahipal
license: Apache-2.0
nist_csf:
- PR.AA-01
- PR.AA-05
- PR.AA-06
---
```
## Use Cases for Hermes
1. **Fleet security** — Agents can audit their own infrastructure
2. **Incident response** — Structured IR playbooks for security events
3. **Threat hunting** — Hypothesis-driven hunts across fleet logs
4. **Compliance** — Framework-mapped skills for audit preparation
5. **Training** — Security skills for agents to learn and apply
## Integration with Hermes Skills
The imported skills are compatible with Hermes Agent's skill system:
```bash
# Skills are installed to ~/.hermes/skills/cybersecurity/
# Each skill has a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter
# Use in Hermes
hermes skills list | grep cybersecurity
hermes skills enable cybersecurity/cloud-security
```
## Adding to Fleet
```bash
# Import all skills
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py
# Import specific domain for fleet security
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --domain incident-response
# Import for compliance
python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --framework nist-csf
```
## Index
After import, an index is generated at `~/.hermes/skills/cybersecurity/index.json` listing all installed skills with their metadata.
